Reply #4: My girlfriend said she called the court the first time a notice came...

...to appear for jury duty selection, but there was a letter indicating her mother just didn't show up (I guess the person on the phone didn't make note of the call), therefore this would count as two failures to appear. Would two misses be considered "abusive" if she contacted them right away, and explained? I'm assuming you should follow up such calls with something in writing? Is not being in California a valid reason not to appear? Thanks so much for your advice. I'll pass it along.
